EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / want to
shake with Comrade 8. III. Samuels, Cayuga,
Ind. for his noble defense of Gen. Ben Butler.
He says if moral worth. patriotism and inteIli-
gence were rounds in the ladder of fame, that
grand old man would stand on the top round,
to which | say Amen | voted for him in 1884,
and would rather see him President than any
other man in the United States. Who but
Ben Butler could have governed New Orleans
as it never was governed before nor since. IL
required man with big head to convert that
SodOm into Christian city. A few doses of
Uncle Ben's medicine were sufficient for the
worst complaints. IL was reported at the time
our regiment-the 18th Conn.-disembarked
on Ship Island, that Gen. Butler said he would
rather have 100 barrels OF pork. Our regiment
was rather snowy, with white gloves and gilt
tering shoulder scales--a triAe out of place on
Ship Island, but "just the cheese" in New
Orleans. Twenty first Ind, tho boys of our
regiment remember you-with your beautiful
PARROTS and the big mules-with the most
friendly feelngs.-W. b. TooKEE, 18th Conn.,,
